Stop Motion Animation

The Stop Motion Animation drama strategy is very fun, incorporates technology, and would be great as a cross-curricular activity with media literacy. In groups, students will be asked to create a scene by doing multiple tableaux. With a camera, a picture will be taken for each tableaux. These pictures will then be put in order and then played as a short film with a few seconds for each picture. The short film can be done through programs/apps such as "NFB Pixstop" or can even be set up on a PowerPoint (the animation and timing settings can be changed so that it acts as a normal video).
